Here, we will discuss the various crawl space problems you might experience and what you can do about them.

Common Crawl Space Problems

There are a range of issues you may be experiencing in your home that may be related to issues with your crawl space. Here are just a few of the common signs: 

• Cold floors above the crawl space

• Cold drafts coming from the crawl space

• Higher heating bills

• Cold crawl space ductwork that cools the heated air from the furnace

• Frozen pipes due to inadequate insulation

How We Seal Out The Cold

Air Seal & Insulate the Rim Joist

With rim joists that rest on your crawl space foundation, it may cause frigid air to leak through. Our team can seal the gaps around your foundation’s perimeter and insulate it with foam insulation. This will significantly reduce conductive heat loss. 

Insulate Crawl Space Walls with Rigid Foam

At NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair, we install high-performance SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation along the crawl space’s walls. This foam insulation prevents air leaks, retains R-value (insulation), and is moisture-resistant.

Seal & Insulate The Crawl Space Floor

For residences in colder climates, we can install TerraBlock™ Foam insulation on the crawl space floor. To complete the sealing process, this particular type of foam insulation will then be covered with a strong poly CleanSpace® moisture barrier, which is also known as a vapor barrier system.

Crawl Space Sealing and Insulation Benefits

By sealing out the cold with the previously mentioned techniques, it will improve your overall home comfort. You will also find yourself paying less on your monthly energy bills since your home won’t have to overwork to heat a home that’s leaking air. This will also help you maintain your crawl space so it can support your home’s structural integrity as well.
